Wheelwright Prize: annual Award open to architects worldwide
Премия Wheelwright Prize присуждалась молодым талантливым архитекторам – выпускникам Школы дизайна Гарвардского университета с 1935 года. Но уже пятый год подряд организаторы приглашают к участию молодых специалистов со всего мира, окончивших вузы не более 15 лет назад. Участнику необходимо предложить программу практического архитектурного исследования для проведения за пределами страны его проживания. Победитель получит грант в размере $100 000 на реализацию своего исследовательского проекта. Претендентам на премию также необходимо представить жюри свое резюме, портфолио и детальный маршрут предполагаемого путешествия.
Cambridge, MA — The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) is pleased to announce the fifth cycle of the Wheelwright Prize, an open international competition that awards $100,000 annually to a talented early-career architect to support travel-based research. The 2017 Wheelwright Prize is now accepting applications. Deadline for submissions is January 31, 2017. This annual prize is dedicated to fostering new forms of architectural research informed by cross-cultural engagement.
The Wheelwright Prize is open to emerging architects practicing anywhere in the world. The primary eligibility requirement is that applicants must have received a degree from a professionally accredited architecture program in the past 15 years (after 2002). Applicants are asked to submit a portfolio, a research proposal, and a travel itinerary that takes them outside their country of residence. Applicants will be judged on the quality of their design work, scholarly accomplishments, originality and persuasiveness of their research proposal, and evidence of ability to fulfill the proposed project.
